Furnace Repair in Columbus: what's different
Columbus furnaces face cold, cloudy winters, and many homes have basement or utility-room gas furnaces. Common repairs include igniters, flame sensors, inducer motors and control boards.
Historic brick homes in German Village and Victorian Village may have older venting that needs checking. Columbia Gas customers should call the utility's emergency line if they smell gas.
Ask the tech to check the flame sensor, igniter and filter during the visit. These are the most common reasons Columbus furnaces fail on the first cold night of the season. If your home is in a historic district, ask about venting changes that might need approval.

FAQ
Furnace Repair questions
When should I service my furnace in Columbus?+
In early fall, before the first cold snap.
Why does my furnace turn on then off right away?+
The most common reason is a dirty flame sensor, which can't prove the flame so the board shuts the gas off. Other causes are a weak pressure switch or a blocked vent.
Is a cracked heat exchanger dangerous?+
It can be, because it may let combustion gases mix with house air. A tech will usually shut the furnace off and red-tag it until it is repaired or replaced.
